To all whom t may concern.-

Be it knownthat we, HARVEY E. BREWER and MICHAEL H. SHENK,cit iz ens of the United States, residing at Annville, in the county of Lebanon and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Blacksmithing Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

O ur invention relates to a blacksmithing apparatus, .and has for its object to provide a compact construction and arrangement of devices for facilitating the operations of forging, drilling, &c.

Further objects and advantages of this invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out lin the appended claims. i

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a blacksmithing apparatus constructed in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same with the parts adjusted for forging, and showing in dotted lines'the position of the anvil whenA arranged to form a guidefor the drill. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section taken in the plane of the drilling' mechanism with the parts adjusted for drilling. 4 is a transverse sectional viewof the blast mechanism. Fig. 5 is a similar view of the vise and the contiguous portions of the frame. Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view of the anvil. Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view of a portion of the anvil to show the latch whereby it is secured in either of its adjusted positions. v

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

f The framework of Ithe machine embodying our invention includes a base-plate 1, which is adapted to be secured in a horizontal positionto a log'or block, such as that illustrated at 2, andfront and rear rectangular uprights 3 and 4 are preferably bolted toupstanding flanges 5 at the sides of the baseplate, the rear upright 4 being provided-with outwardly-turned feet 6, which-Y are spiked to the support of the base. `Also secured to said support are clips 7, which engage the side edges of the base in advance of the front standard 3.

The base is'longitudinally slotted, and the walls of -the slot are undercut ordovetailed to forma guide 8 for the reception of the opposite edges of the .foot 9 of an anvil 10, and arranged longitudinally in the slot is a feedscrew v11, engaging a nut 12 on the anvil, whereby therotation of the screw is adapted to impart motion to the'anvil in the said guide provided therefor. The means which we have illustrated in theV drawings for rotating the feed-screw include a pinion 13 on said screw and an operating crank-gear 14, mounted upon a suitable stub-shaft 15, projecting longitudinallyfrom the base-plate at its rearend, or at any other convenient point which may be found preferable. VAt the front end of the base-plate the guide-is enlarged laterally to form a table 16,'upon which theuanvil may be turned to occupy-any desired angular position, ora position with its horn projecting in either direction, and in order to allow this pivotal or rotary movement-of the anvil the nut 12 is provided with a stem or spindle 17, fitting in a suitable socket 18 in the foot of the anvil. It is also desirable to provide for removing the anvil from-the base, and hence weV employakey 19, fitted in a transverse opening 20-in the body of the anvil, andv engaging a circumferential groove 21 in said stem or spindle. Also, the table is provided with a series of spaced sockets or openings 22 for engagement by a spring-actuated latch carried by the foot of the anvil, whereby the latter may be locked in any desired position with relation to the guide. In the construction illustrated, this latch consists ofa bolt 23, a pivotal operating-lever 24, adapted to be depressed at its free end to withdraw the latch-bolt, and anactuatingspring'25.

The front upright 3 carries a vise of which the fixed member 26V is bolted to the contiguous leg of the standard, and is hook-shaped at its lower extremity to form a seat 27 Yfor the lower end of the movable member 28, whereby the bolt v29, which extendsthrough the lower extremities of the vise members, and the adjusting-screw 30, which connects IOO the vise members near their operating extremities, are relieved from downward strain when the upper edges of the jaws of the vise are struck.

Connecting the front and rear standards are parallel side bars 3l, having vertical offsets atintermediate points, the upper portions of said side bars forming rests for the flanges of the furnace or tire-pot 32, above which is erected a hood to which may be attached a flue 3i to conduct smoke and sparks to a convenient point of discharge. The iiange of the furnace is secured by bolts 35, or equivalentmeans, to the side bars. The lower portions of the side bars are connected by crossbars 3G, which support a blast device for supplying the furnace with a suitable draft. In the construction illustrated this blast device consists of a fan of which the easing comprises an open-ended cylinder 37, having heads 3S and 39, which are removable to give access to the interior of the easing. rllhe easing communicates with the furnace by means of a conductor i0. Mounted in suitable bearings in the heads is a fan-shaft il, carrying a pulley i2 and a plurality of fan-blades i3, said blades being connected by means of sector-shaped guards 44:. The air-inlet openings of the casing are arranged concentric with the fan-shaft, and are exposed by offsetting the bearings of said shaft, whereby the blades of the fan are fed at the center.

Mounted upon an upward extension 4E of the rear standard is a belt-wheel 45, of which the shaft i6 carries a bevel-pinion i7, said wheel being connected with the belt-pulley of the fan mechanism by means of a belt 48. Any suitable means may be employed for imparting rotary motion tothe belt-wheel, which is of large diameter and is peripherally weighted to form a ily-wheel, the means shown in the drawings consisting` of a gear 9, meshing with a spur-pinion 50 on the spindle of the belt-wheel and having a belt-pulley 51.

52 represents a vertical tool-shaft extending through horizontal portions of the standard i and its extension, and provided at its lower end with a tool-socket 523. Loosely fitted upon the upper end of the tool-shaft, above the horizontal portion of said extension 4a, is a sleeve 54:, carrying a ily-wheel 55 and a bevel-gear 5G, which is adapted to mesh with the bevel-gear i7, when the sleeve is adj usted upwardly upon the tool-shaft, to bring said parts into operative relation. The sleeve is feathered upon the tool-shaft by means of a key or pin 57, engaging a longitudinal keyslot 58, and the lower end of the sleeve rests upon a follower 50, which is adapted to be 'moved axially with relation to the tool-shaft by means of a shifting-screw 60, having a terminal hand-wheel Gl. This shifting-screw is threaded in an opening in the horizontal portion of the standard extension et, and is tubular to allow the'tool-shaft to extend therethrough. A pressure-screw 62 is threaded in a similar opening in a horizontal portion of the standard f1, and is adapted to bear at its lower extremity4 upon a collar G3 on the tool-shaft, to exert the proper pressure upon the tool to feed the same into the material being drilled, the upper end of the pressurescrew being fitted with a hand-wheel (5i.

From the above description it will be seen that by lowering the shifting screw suliciently to disengage the bevel-pinions the driving mechanism is free to operate the blast device through the belt by which it is connected therewith, and that when it is desired to use the drill the belt may be disengaged from the pulley and the shifting-screw adjusted to bring the bevel-gears into engagement. \Vhen it is desired to cheek the operation of the drill for any purpose, it may be accomplished quickly by adjusting the shifting-screw.

The anvil, as hereinbefore described, is adapted for adjustment longitudinally of the base to arrange it either upon the table, where it is adapted for angular or rotary movement, or contiguous to the drill, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2; and we preferably provide the anvil with a socket (i5, which maybe arranged in alinement with the drill-bit (36 to serve as a guide for said bit. At other times this socket is adapted to receive the stem (57 of a shearing-knife G8, as shown in Fig. l and in full lines in Fig. 2.

The flanges which rise from the lateral edges of the base are preferably provided with openings or perforatious 69 for the reception of securing-bolts to fasten various receptacles within reach of the operators, 70 representing a water-box adapted for use in tempering articles in connection with the forging operation, 7l representing a tool or bit receptacle, and F2 an oil-receptacle.

It will be seen that the forge is arranged contiguous to the anvil when the latter is arranged upon the turn-table, or at that point in the guide where the anvil is adapted to be adjusted revolubly.

It will be understood that in practice Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
